Functional Recovery After PENG Block Plus Periarticular Injection Versus Periarticular Injection Alone in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Pain after hip replacement can make it difficult for older adults to get out of bed, stand up, and walk. This study will investigate whether adding a nerve block to pain-relieving injections given during surgery helps patients regain independence sooner.
The study will include adults aged 65 years or older undergoing planned first-time hip replacement for osteoarthritis. Participants will be assigned by chance to one of two groups. Both groups will receive an injection of a local anaesthetic, ropivacaine, into tissues around the back of the hip joint during surgery. One group will also receive an ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, which involves injecting ropivacaine near nerves that carry pain signals from the hip. Both groups will receive the same usual pain treatment and rehabilitation programme.
The main assessment will take place 24 hours after surgery. A physiotherapist who does not know the participant's treatment group will assess how much help they need to get into and out of bed, stand up, walk, and use stairs.
The study will also assess pain, use of opioid pain medicines, muscle strength, quality of recovery, and side effects. The findings will help determine whether adding a PENG block provides a meaningful benefit for recovery after hip replacement.

詳細な説明
This study addresses whether the analgesic effects of adding a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block to posterior capsular local infiltration translate into better early functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty. Reduced pain or opioid consumption alone may not reflect a patient's ability to move independently, particularly when muscle weakness, dizziness, or sedation may also limit rehabilitation.
The primary assessment will therefore focus on the assistance required to perform everyday mobility tasks at a fixed postoperative time. This approach is intended to reduce the influence of staffing schedules and differences in the timing of the first mobilization attempt. Physiotherapists will receive standardized training in administering and scoring the functional assessment. Equivalent rehabilitation opportunities will be provided to both groups, including at weekends.
For each incomplete assessment, the reason will be documented to distinguish clinical inability to perform a task from an assessment missed for organizational reasons. Walking aids, assistance provided, and factors limiting performance will also be recorded.
The trial evaluates the additional value of a standard PENG block within an otherwise standardized care pathway. As the combined strategy includes a higher total dose of ropivacaine, any observed benefit will be interpreted as an effect of the overall strategy rather than proof of an effect attributable solely to the injection location.
Functional outcomes will be interpreted alongside analgesic requirements, muscle strength, patient-reported recovery, and adverse events to assess whether the additional procedure provides a meaningful overall benefit.

Modified Iowa Level of Assistance Scale Score at 24 Hours
時間枠:24 hours after the end of surgery
|
Functional recovery will be assessed using the five-item modified Iowa Level of Assistance Scale (mILAS). The scale evaluates the assistance required for supine-to-sitting transfer, sitting-to-supine transfer, sit-to-stand transfer, walking, and stair climbing. Each item is scored from 0 to 6, yielding a total score from 0 to 30. Lower scores indicate less assistance required and greater functional independence. A trained physiotherapist blinded to treatment allocation will administer the assessment according to a standardized scoring manual. The primary outcome is the total mILAS score at 24 hours after surgery. |

Direct identifiers will be removed, and potentially identifying variables will be modified or withheld to reduce the risk of re-identification. Data sharing will comply with participant consent, institutional requirements, and applicable data protection requirements.
IPD 共有時間枠
Data and supporting documents will be available beginning 6 months after publication of the primary study results and will remain available for 5 years.
IPD 共有アクセス基準
Researchers submitting a methodologically sound proposal may request access from the principal investigator using the contact details listed in this record. Requests must describe the research question, requested data, and planned analyses. Access will require approval by the responsible institution and, where applicable, the ethics committee, and a signed data use agreement prohibiting re-identification and unauthorized onward sharing. Approved researchers will receive the minimum dataset necessary for the agreed analyses through a secure transfer method.
